CLOTHES-RACKS.

The Schedule referred to these Letters Patent and making part of the same We, HERMAN Bitumen and URBAN ll/[UELhER, of Canton, 1n the county of Starkand State of'Ohio, have invented certain Improvements .in the Construction of Racks for Glothing, Bcd-Liuen, andlike articles, of which the following is a specifi cz ition.

. Na turcand Objects of the I mention. Onrinvention rclatesto the mounting of radial bars with certain metal castings, embracing pivot-pins and alsohooks to hold yvearinig-apparel, all in one piece,

in such a manner that when the implement is not used for drying articles, 1t maybe used as a rack for wear ing-apparel generally.

The board .A may he screwed or nailed to the wall, orother place, and to that the hcadepiece may be atf l cached by screws through slots in flanges f f f f, as ,shown in fig. 2, or it may be attaehcd .d'irectly. to the wall, in the same manner,"without the'board A.

ln fig.f5 is shown the form ofthe headpiece without the said bars.

l} is a plate in a horizontal position, is a radial wing and fE isa vertical opening in the same; and

a a arelateral slots in the sides'ofthewings. The plate D has itsnpper surface parallel to plate B, and is so much lower as to furnish vertical space betweenthe two, and'the adjacent wings for the inl sertioni of the bars K, which are tapered in form, as

shown. Such openingsare shown at c c o, fig. 5.

\Vhen these wooden bars are in position for drying clothes upon them, they are horizontal, the plate D sustains their weight, while the plate B prevents their outerends from swinging down, and the wings F their lateral movement.

purpose described.

The hook I is fastened upon the top of a bar, K, by screw 0, as shown by the dotted lines, and letter G in fig.'5, but the base by which. the hook is fastened to the bar, extends down on both sides thereof, as shown by BE in fig. 4, and then, at the lower ends of its extensions H H are the pivot-pins b b, as parts thereof.

Now, when the bars K are insertedin the openings c fig 5, the rack is fit for use in drying clothes and linen, and appears as seen in figs. 1 and2, butwhen the bars K are withdrawn,w ith their heads out of the openings 1, and from under plate B, their outer ends fall down of their own weight, and their inner ends hang 'upon the'pi-vot-pins I) b When the bars are inserted in the openings, they may be moved back and fortheasily in their metal bearings, for, they slide upon the pivot-pins l1 1), which more freely in the slots to a, which must, of course, be made long enough to allow the bars to mote back and forth in and out of their openings.

When the bars are down,this convenience occupies V but-an inconsiderable amount of space, and'prcsents for use the hooks I and N for hats, cloth-coats, Ste

Each bar' operates independently, so that any one or more of them may be down, while the rest are up, or can be removed for repair or renewal while therest are in use.

.We are aware that a clothes-rack has heretofore been patented, the bars of which are pivoted upon a sen'iieircular head-piece, but its bars, when not in use to hold clothing to be dried, are useful for no other purpose, and to remove them out of the way when not in use, they have to be turned upupou their bear ings, and lodged one by one in recesses provided for them whereas, the bars of my rack may besimply drawn endwise and dropped, and they will fall down out of the way, and present for use their convenient hooks.

\Vhat I claim is The metal bearings for the bars, composed of the parts G H H, the pivot-pins b I), either with or with out the hooks I and N, in combination with the open ings'E E in the wings F F, with their .slots b b, constructed and operated substantially as and for the HERMAN BAUMAN.

IMPROVEMENT IN COMPOU-NDS.FOR COLORING PAPER AND OTHER FABRICS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and snaking part of the Jeanie.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FREDERICK BECK, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new andimproved Coloring Compound; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will venable those skilled in the artto make and use the same.

This invention relates to a compound which is intended, principally,'for .coloring wall-paper, fancy pa- ,per cloth, and other fabrics; and which is made of mica ground to a fine powder, and mixed with atransparent gum, such as starch, glue, and glycerine, to

By mixing powdered-mica with a transparent gum, I

a compound is obtained, which, when applied topaper, or ot er material, produces a metallic silvery gloss of 'a beant 'ul'eflect. I

I It can be applied on a white or on a tinted ground, and, when applied'toth'e latter, the tinted background shows through my coloring compound, and the most striking efi'ects can be produced.

My compound has the great advantage that it is not liable to become dull, or turn yellow, but will retain its gloss and white appearance for a long time.

\Vhat Iclaim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A compound for coloring paper, and other 1naterials, made substantially as herein described.

- This specification signed by me this 19th day of" September, 1870.
